TARRAGON YOGURT SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, and saute the onion and garlic until translucent. Stir 2 tablespoons cornstarch into 2 tablespoons chicken stock to make a slurry. Add the remaining chicken stock to the onion/garlic mixture and bring to simmer. Add the slurry and bring to boil. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from the heat. Add the salt, pepper, tarragon, and yogurt and heat until warmed through, but do not boil, about 1 minute.
- Pour milk into small saucepan and whisk in powdered milk and honey. Place over medium heat and bring to 120 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Once milk has reached 120 degrees F, pour into a cylindrical plastic container, reserving 1/2 cup. Whisk in the reserved 1/2 cup into the yogurt and add back to the milk mixture.
- Place container into a narrow wine bucket, lined with a heating pad. Set the heating pad to medium. Let the mixture ferment for 3 to 12 hours making sure the temperature stays as close to 115 degrees F as possible.
- After fermentation is complete place into the refrigerator overnight.
SPICY TARRAGON YOGURT CHICKEN
Tarragon is one of the most aromatic and sweetest herbs that there is. It's good with chicken and really nice in a marinade like this. A good way to mix up the same old grilled chicken recipes.

GREEN GODDESS DRESSING
Unlike more complicated versions of green goddess, this one, adapted from the cookbook author Jessica Battilana, comes together quickly in a food processor. Mayonnaise and full-fat Greek yogurt give the dressing richness and tang, while parsley, basil and tarragon lend the springtime perfume of fine herbs. Two anchovy fillets offer salt and a rumor of umami. The recipe is so mouth-smackingly perfect that it doesn't require any adjusting. Serve with this greenest-green salad. Use leftover dressing as a dip, alongside carrots, cucumbers and radishes, or as an accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken.

Tips:
- For a smoother dip, strain the yogurt before using it. This will remove any excess whey and result in a creamier texture. - If you don't have fresh tarragon on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried tarragon instead. - To make the dip ahead of time, simply prepare it as directed and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, bring the dip to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. - You can use plain Greek yogurt or sour cream in this dip. If you use sour cream, the dip will be slightly tangier. - For a healthier dip, use low-fat or nonfat yogurt. - Serve the dip with fresh vegetables, such as carrots, celery, cucumbers, and bell peppers. You can also serve it with pita chips, crackers, or tortilla chips.Conclusion:
Tarragon yogurt dip is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or even as a sauce. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a light and refreshing dip or a more flavorful and tangy one, this tarragon yogurt dip is sure to please.
